Jeremiah 8

Jeremiah 8:9

NO ONE REPENTED OF HIS WICKEDNESSChapter 8 continues Jeremiah’s message as he stands in the gate of the Lord’s house. Their crowning sin is that they are rejecting the Word of the Lord. This is the crowning sin of America also. The prevailing feeling is that if our economy is all right, we are all right. However, many folk are beginning to realize that the economy can be all right and we can be all wrong. After World War II we hastened to get the atom bomb into our arsenal of weapons. Of course we need to protect ourselves, but we forgot that any nation, any church, or any individual disintegrates from the inside. It is not what happens on the outside, but what happens on the inside that is the crucial issue. Jeremiah enters deeply into the feelings of his people, sharing with them this wail

Jeremiah 8:20

Although God had made adequate provision for their restoration, they refuse the remedy.
